To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future next year, Universal Pictures will rerelease the 1985 Michael J. Fox time-travel classic with live orchestration. According to Variety, the film will be screened in various venues around the world without the score, so that a live orchestra could perform Alan Silvestri’s Academy Award–nominated music. The orchestra will also perform 15 minutes of new music that the composer wrote specifically for the engagements.

The first performance of Back to the Future with live orchestration will take place in May 2015 in Lucerne, Switzerland. The presentation was co-created by IMG Artists and the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency, who previously added live orchestration to films like West Side Story, Star Trek and Home Alone. No other screening dates or details have yet been announced. A London musical based on the Robert Zemeckis film is also planned for 2015.
